kim as a mother of a teenage girl, if this situation should arise I would have no hesitation about putting my daughter on the pill, but I would explore every other option first, it would be my last, I mean the Pill is not without side effects,some which are not so pleasant, like weightgain, some can cause skin outbreaks, depression, etc etc, I am sure you are well aware of them all anyhow, as for hubby well he is not a woman and will never know the pain and discomfort we as woman experience, so for me my hubby just would have very little say in the matter, but as you are the stepmother I guess it changes it a bit.

It is ridiculous of him to assume because she goes on the pill she will suddenly be having sex, and besides if she did decide to , far better to be taking precautions than end up having a baby at her young age don't you think?

I can recommend a drug called Arcoxia, I am not certain USA has it though , it is primarily for Arthritis, but used for other pain such as period pain, I can personally recommend it, however it is not without side effects either, and it could be taken off the market as was Vioxx, however taken in small amounts like 2 ot three pills per month I seriously doubt whether it would be harmful.

I wish you both luck at the specialist and hopefully they will come up with something that will be beneficial for her, she should not have to go through her life suffering like that.
